Ameribrands has acquired Randal Retail Group, expanding its capabilities across retail design, fixture manufacturing, merchandising displays and installation services. The deal closed on July 31, 2026 and represents Ameribrands’ third acquisition of 2026 and fourth completed transaction since the platform was formed in 2023.
Randal Retail adds more than 40 years of experience designing, manufacturing and installing retail and restaurant environments for national brands.
The Batavia, Illinois-based company provides services spanning design, engineering, fabrication, warehousing, shipping and on-site installation.
Its product capabilities include custom store fixtures, storage systems, signage, millwork and furniture for customers across retail, restaurants, health and wellness, electronics and automotive markets.
Ameribrands said the combination strengthens its ability to design, manufacture and install branded environments at national scale while expanding the range of services available to customers operating across multiple locations.
Randal Retail will continue operating under its existing brand following the acquisition.
The company will retain its current focus on customers, employees and partners while gaining access to Ameribrands’ broader infrastructure, relationships and strategic resources.
The transaction advances Ameribrands’ strategy of building a diversified national platform serving the retail, restaurant, hospitality, entertainment, education and facilities sectors.
Ameribrands’ portfolio also includes Commercial Hospitality Solutions, which provides construction and retrofit programs for multi-site hospitality and retail operators, and Genesis Hotel Services, which provides interior renovation and remediation services for major hotel brands.
The platform also owns Allied Stainless, a manufacturer of stainless steel food service equipment acquired in March 2024.
Additional Ameribrands businesses include Ameritech Facility Services, which focuses on nationwide equipment rollouts, renovations and remodels; Access Pro Supply, a supplier and distributor of bathroom fixtures and equipment; and Adaptive Construction Management, which provides project management services to corporate customers.
Together, the businesses give Ameribrands capabilities across construction, renovation, equipment manufacturing, branded environments, project execution and facility services.
The company is using acquisitions to expand its ability to serve national and multi-location customers through a broader combination of design, manufacturing, installation and ongoing facility support.
Randal Retail’s addition is particularly focused on strengthening the front end of that offering through design and engineering while also adding manufacturing and field installation capabilities.
Ameribrands said it intends to continue supporting Randal Retail’s existing culture and customer relationships while providing additional scale and resources to pursue further growth.
SouthState Bank provided financing for the acquisition, while UHY provided financial and tax advisory services.
Flint, Connolly & Walker and Smith, Gambrell & Russell served as legal counsel to Ameribrands.
